Stranded: The Secret History Of Australian Independent Music by Clinton Walker.

In the non Australian area KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps
by Nikolaus Wachsmann was outstanding and to quote GR friend Sharn ‘I cannot recommend this book highly enough, though it is of course with a heavy heart. Monumental.'

Serious food for thought was The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity
by Steven Pinker.

Trap by Peter Mathers was a surprise. Hard to find and the epitome of a buried book that has passed the world by.
